THE AWAKENING 

Come unto my Soul, O thou Almighty One, 
Kindle herein Thy spark of Love 
That I may always live and be 
In constant companionship with Thee. 

Let me express Thee here below 
In a masterful way, that my brothers shall know 
That there is, ever was, and ever shall be 
A power within to lift us up to Master-men, 
Away from toil and pain and sin. 

Let this be so 

That others may know 

This higher, brighter road to go, 

Which leads to Joy, Tranquillity, 

And Life Celestial with Thee.

FOREWORD 

This teaching is a distinctive teaching of Mastery, 
founded by W. Frederic Keeler, with whom I have 
had the pleasure of studying for a number of years, 
and to whom I am deeply grateful for many advan¬ 
tages this opportunity has afforded me. 

My sole object in entering this field of endeavor is 
to carry forth, as best I may, the many wonderful 
Truths set forth in these teachings. Thus entering 
The Master’s Ministry, I trust it will please God to 
prosper me in my humble endeavor to hasten the 
time when all men shall realize the Oneness of all 
Life, and enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven here and 
now. 

The teaching contained in these lessons is not the 
teaching of the so-called New Thought School. In 
fact, it differs considerably in three distinct prin¬ 
ciples. (1) I do not teach affirmation in the sense it 
is generally used in the New Thought Schools. 
There it is often used as a dominating means, where¬ 
by an issue is forced into expression. This always 
results in a considerable amount of stress, strain and 
tautness; a tenseness producing a somewhat destruc¬ 
tive condition rather than the free easiness necessary 
to the free expression of Spirit. (2) Denials are 
another form of dominance by which one wishes 
forcefully to dispose of some undesirable condition. 
“I say unto you resist not evil.”—Jesus This effort 
invariably results in mental stress and soon develops 
[3] 


into antagonism, which in itself produces an un¬ 
desirable condition. Furthermore, it is the thing 
to which you give attention that you bring to your¬ 
self. Denying an undesirable condition is giving 
it attention. Consequently, you are giving it place, 
life, vitality and making it more real; bringing 
it closer to yourself, rather than disposing of it. 
(3) Visualization, while it has its value on its 
plane, does not belong to spiritual healing. It is a 
form of phenomena and belongs to the second level 
of mind, the subconscious, while in spiritual healing, 
you function on the third level of mind, the Master 
Consciousness. Here you have nothing to do with 
phenomena, for the spiritual level of mind is freed 
from all that suggests the material. This is the level 
of mind Jesus (the greatest of metaphysicians) worked 
in when He was teaching and healing, “attending to 
His Father’s business.” Let us endeavor to follow in 
His footsteps, and we shall be blessed accordingly. 

The attitude of a true student is to contact a subject 
for the purpose of studying it, eventually becoming 
thoroughly acquainted with it, and in this way deter¬ 
mining its value. This I ask of you: Study these 
lessons with an open mind and you will find a very 
practical teaching. If followed with the proper 
spirit, definite results will be your reward. 

Trusting that you, dear fellow traveler on the 
Pathway of Life, may be able to see the gleam of 
Light herein contained, and have the purpose to 
follow it, I remain, 

Yours in fellow service, 

James E. Dodds. 


[ 4 ] 


The School of the Indwelling Master presents 
a teaching of the Higher Life, Higher Thought and 
the Victorious Faith: in a word, Mastery on all the 
planes of life. 

The teaching of The Master’s Ministry. 

Mastery—That form of Intelligence which serves 
both God and Man. 

The Power of Thought—Thought as a dynamic 
or health force. 

Thought in its fourth or life dimension. 

The Christianity of Christ Time—In which there 
is room for all. 

Modern Metaphysics—Based upon doctrines of 
non-dominance, non-interference and non-sectarian¬ 
ism. 

Ever Present Guidance—The one best way in any 
need or given instance. It is always before the mind 
of tranquil faith, “For every one that asketh receiv- 
eth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that 
knocketh, it shall be opened.” 

The Law of Life—In its minimum effect, justice; 
in its fuller effect, Love and Abundance. 

I hold that: 

Love alone teaches. 

The masterful way is the easiest way. 

Simplicity is power. 

Man attracts his own, whether by Love and Accep¬ 
tance, or by toil and labor. Choice lies with him. 

[5] 


Peace is unto you who accept. The greatest work 
is accomplished by (1) Silent Thought, (2) In the 
Presence of God, (3) When one endeavors to do 
unto others whatsoever he would have men do unto 
him; while (4) Knowing and believing that thinking 
is life and that thought is power. 

The Master has come. He is here Indwelling in 
each. Those know who will to know. 

I teach that: 

You can help others only by their consent. 

Peace is life. To take another’s peace is to take 
his life. 

God saves. Man serves. 

The movement of Life is ever onward. 

Life is teachable. Health, success and happiness 
are teachable. 

All true work is accomplished by the Indwelling 
Master. 

It is man’s province to choose, accept, realize and 
joyfully serve. 

There is one God, and that God is Good. 


[ 6 ] 


MIND DEFINED 

YJ^THAT is mind? Some authorities claim mind 
to be “The faculty or power whereby think¬ 
ing creatures feel, think, perceive, desire and will.” 
But when you come to analyze mind you find it even 
more far-reaching than this. Science tells us that 
there is only one substance in the universe, and that 
that substance is intelligent energy. Mind then must 
be in all, through all, over all and under all. Every¬ 
thing must be interpenetrated by this force. Every¬ 
thing must necessarily be directly related to mind. 
All things, then, must have intelligence. Intelligence 
is life. Therefore, everything must be alive and 
intelligent. All things, then, blend into one harmon¬ 
ious whole. However, this force has many forms of 
expression: each thing, each person is an individual 
expression of the One substance. 

The individualized expression called Man, has many 
parts. There are seven parts of being: (1) Divine, 
(2) Spirit, (3) Ego, (4) Soul, (5) Magnetic element, 
(6) Physical body. Each of these parts of being 
is essential to a human being. The union of these six 
constitute the seventh, Mind. To the degree each part 
is developed and harmoniously related with the other 
parts do we have a well organized or powerful mind. 

The correct definition, then, is: Mind is a condi¬ 
tion, resulting from these harmoniously united, essen¬ 
tial parts of being. This condition, mind, may be 
colored by one’s attitude and made an agent for 
either destruction or construction. You have free 
choice in this matter, only you will have to take the 
life results as a product of your own will. 

[7] 


THE THREE LEVELS OF MIND 


J N Psychology this Mind is again divided into three 
levels, namely: (1) The Common Conscious; 
(2) The Subconscious; (3) The Master Mind, or 
Master Conscious. Each of these levels is quite dis¬ 
tinct. Each has its own faculties. Each has its special 
functions and powers. Each has its own offices to 
perform. Different authors give different names to 
these parts. It is necessary for the student of the newer 
psychology to learn these names and to know that 
these different names mean one and the same thing, 
for such knowledge will make the already large and 
confusing literature on this subject a single open book 
to him. These levels have been numbered. The num¬ 
bers have no reference to their importance, but the 
numbers of the levels are in the order in which the 
average person becomes conscious of their importance. 

The first level of Mind is the ordinary conscious¬ 
ness which we use day by day. It is that part of the 
mind of which we are cognizant, with which we 
commonly think, which we use and which we are 
conscious of using in ordinary states. Various names 
by which it is known and which mean one and the 
same thing are:—the common consciousness, the 
conscious mind, the objective mind, the ordinary 
mind, the waking mind, the mind of awareness. 

The second level of Mind is that part of the mind 
which continues active during sleep. It is that mind 
[ 8 ] 


which lies just barely below the ordinary conscious¬ 
ness. It operates in dreams. It brings us impulses. 
It reaches onward down into our being. Generally 
one is not familiar with it, but nevertheless everyone 
knows that there is such a mental activity. This 
second mind level is called the subconscious mind, 
the subjective mind, the psychic mind, the habit 
mind, the functional mind, the suggestional mind, 
the involuntary mind. These names are all very truly 
descriptive and refer to this one thing, the one mind 
division which lies just beneath ordinary conscious¬ 
ness. 

The third level of Mind—This part of mind is of 
the real Self. It lies closest to true being. It is really 
the Divine Self linked with the lesser self. It is that 
mental level upon which the human being senses 
freedom from all limitations, but is fully cognizant 
of full manhood and womanhood. It makes self 
known both in simple and exalted forms. Its especial 
study is called higher psychology. Other names by 
which the third level is known are the Subliminal 
Consciousness, the Subliminal Mind, the Superman, 
the Master Mind or the Master Consciousness, the 
Higher Self. The terms, the Knower, the Healer, 
the Seer, speak of it, as also do the terms, Impersonal 
Christ and the Indwelling Master. Any terms indica¬ 
ting this level of Mind are almost always capitalized. 
Terms of this kind will be found in all the Hebrew, 
Arabic, Hindu and Chinese writings, in fact, through 
all the old literatures, but the terms always have one 
varying characteristic. They always refer to that part 
of man which is at once something of the human 
[9] 


and of the Divine nature and both harmonized. It 
is in this level of Mind we find the Silence. 

The student should fix, as far as possible, these dif¬ 
ferent levels clearly and distinctly in his conception. 

Mind is a condition-thing. Thinking, or ideation, 
is its motion, and thoughts are the product of that 
motion. 

I have presented the above so that you will realize 
more clearly what I mean by Mind, and you will be 
able to follow the lessons with a greater interest 
and understanding. 


There is one Infinite Mind plus its Infinite mani¬ 
festations. 

Man is an expression of this Infinite Mind, and 
being of it, is it. 


There is one Music. 

We know that there are many kinds and forms, 
Yet all are of the one music. 

It is the same with Mind. 

Many levels, many degrees of clearness, 

Many different interpretations or manifestations. 
Yet there is but the one Mind. 




LESSON NUMBER ONE 


WHAT THE SILENCE IS 

T N order to do silent work it is necessary to have 
an outline or general idea of just what is meant 
by The Silence. What is it ? Many have been led to 
believe that The Silence can be appealed to; that help 
can be had from The Silence! And fully as many 
have been sadly disappointed in finding that their 
desires have not been realized, that their prayers have 
not been answered. In consequence of not having 
accomplished satisfactory results, they have arrived 
at that place where they have said “Metaphysics is a 
failure; nothing can be done with it that is worth 
while; those who are using it are simply chasing 
bubbles, in reality accomplishing nothing more than 
the dissipation of their forces, and laboring under 
clouds of delusion and deceit.” But this is not true. 

The Silence is indeed very real to those who have 
been able to find it; to those who have been able, in 
consciousness, to still the inward strife, and in so 
doing find themselves resting in peace, in harmony, 
with their feet firmly placed upon the solid rock of 
understanding. Here, in this place, each one is able to 
have conscious contact with the spiritual side of life. 

In reality, The Silence is a place. It is not some¬ 
thing to which you can appeal. It can be best com- 
[ii] 



prehended if you consider it to be a temple—the 
temple of the Most High, wherein you find God. 
The temple of itself is not God, but God dwells in 
this temple. 

The Silence is a state of mind wherein you find 
that which is eternally new, that which is eternally 
fresh, fragrant and life giving. If you were to com¬ 
pare it with soil you would call it “Virgin Soil.” 
Or comparing it to water it is like a fresh, clear pool 
wherein you see everything. 

This state of mind, which is clear, even and clean, 
is The Silence. But as Buddha says, “Ask not from 
The Silence, for it cannot speak.” Do not expect 
The Silence to answer you. It cannot. It is dumb. 

The current impression of the word “work” im¬ 
plies either physical or mental action. Now, “Silent 
Work” implies nodiing undesirable, nor is it toil or 
labor. Instead, it means service through loving con¬ 
tact. This service being unselfish, freely given, brings 
real joy. 

You may enter the Temple of Silence and there 
do your work. You do your work in The Silence. 
It is not The Silence that does the work. 

All true work is done in The Silence. In this tem¬ 
ple you meet the Healer—the real Healer in you. 
You also meet your patient. You talk to the Healer 
and you talk to your patient in the Silence, not to 
The Silence. 

In order to know The Silence, or rather, in order 
to know when you are in the temple, it is necessary 
for you to be very alert to your surroundings and be 
able to feel your way consciously as you proceed. 

[ 12 ] 


After entering, know by your feeling, by your state 
of consciousness, that you are really in The Silence 
and not in some other lower level of mind. The 
state of mind necessary to bring about this state of 
consciousness is very sweet—a stillness wherein you 
find perception very clear, very alert to the higher 
things of life. 

On this plane of consciousness, the Silent Plane, 
you cannot think about or associate with anything 
undesirable. There you can think only in terms of 
love, in terms of adoration and service. There can 
be no thought of dominance, no thought of antag¬ 
onism, no thought of self-aggrandizement. If these 
latter three enter into your consciousness, they sig¬ 
nify that you are not in The Silence. 

You will have no psychic experience in The Silence. 
You will not see visions there. You will not hear 
voices. You will not feel the touch of any individual. 
Visualizing and picturing belong to the subconscious 
mind, a lower level of mind. In The Silence you will 
have a very clean-cut, sweet, uplifting, spiritual con¬ 
sciousness. Added to this will be a joy, a very defi¬ 
nite, satisfying joy. One who has really felt this 
contact, who has had this spiritual kiss, will always 
seek and welcome it again. You will never be satis¬ 
fied with anything other than it, since it is the fun¬ 
damental state of mind. The Silence is indeed very 
real to those who have found it; they alone can 
understand and appreciate it. 

It is necessary for the individual to make a definite 
effort to seek this higher level of mind in order to 
have the slightest appreciation of The Silence. No 
[13] 


one can do it for you. You must do it yourself. You 
can accomplish it as well as anyone. You are an 
expression of the Divine, and carry within your 
bosom that spark which gives you eternal life. 
Acquaint yourself with this, therefore, and endeavor 
to have conscious communion. Unquestionably, you 
will realize this in The Silence. 

Whatever work you do in this place will be done 
well, very, very well, because of the high nature of 
the place. This is the place of the Immaculate Con¬ 
ception, where you receive the new; where you 
acquire a state of mind that is virgin, and into it 
will come Truth. Into it will come the Light that 
will not only illuminate your life, but through you 
the lives of all whom you contact. 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 

FOR 

LESSON NUMBER ONE 

Q. What is The Silence? 

A. The Silence is the fundamental state of Mind; 
the one best state. Of all the states of Mind The 
Silence is the most powerful. 

Q. To what level of Mind does The Silence 
belong ? 

A. The third level of Mind; the Master Con¬ 
sciousness. 

Q. To what would you compare this still place 
called The Silence? 


[ 14 ] 


A. A pool of clear water wherein you see all; 
a rapidly revolving wheel wherein the spokes seem 
to vanish because of the rapidity of motion. 

Q. What is the motion of The Silence? 

A. Compared to outer world things, stillness. 

Q. What is always present in The Silence? 

A. The Master. 

Q. Should one talk to The Silence and expect 
an answer from The Silence? 

A. No. The Silence of itself cannot speak. 

Q. Does one ever find anything unpleasant in 
The Silence? 

A. No. Here all is harmony. 

Q. Is The Silence, strictly speaking, conscious? 

A. No. 

Q. Is there any kind of consciousness in The 
Silence ? 

A. Yes. The consciousness of the Master and in 
fact, everything you choose to contact has a conscious¬ 
ness, and you can become aware of it in The Silence. 

Q. Is The Silence a psychic state ? 

A. No. You do not find phenomena in The 
Silence, or in the Master Consciousness. All pheno¬ 
mena belongs to mortal mind. 

Q. What is mortal or carnal mind? 

A. Mortal or carnal mind consists of the untrue 
of the common conscious and the subconscious levels 
of mind. These are the two levels that have to do 
with form and dimension. 


[ 15 ] 


CONCENTRATION 

Concentration is the ability pointedly and harmon¬ 
iously to focus your attention upon the object of 
your choice. 


LESSON NUMBER TWO 


CONCENTRATION 

"^T OTHING so engrosses the attention as the free 
^ expression of a definite purpose.”—Universal 
Law, by Walter Scott Hall. 

There are three parts or levels of mind commonly 
mentioned in psychology. (1) The common con¬ 
sciousness; (2) the subconsciousness, and (3) the 
Master Consciousness. The latter two are well organ¬ 
ized. They are concentrated. In a sense, organization 
is concentration. If the mind is well organized, one 
is able to handle it masterfully. However, the one 
part of the mind that is not concentrated is the com¬ 
mon conscious mind—that part of mind which has 
to do with the ordinary things of life. This mind is 
often in a state of confusion, wherein one is unable 
to apply himself pointedly to any definite object for 
a given time. Pointedness can be accomplished pro¬ 
vided one will comply with the law of concentration. 
It is very simple to apply when one has become 
thoroughly acqainted with it. 

[ 16 ] 




All that I ask of my reader is to give this method 
a fair trial. Then I know he will agree with me that 
concentration is, after all, very simple. 

Research informs us that about two hundred ideas 
pass through the average, developed mind during a 
minute. Very well, what would be the result, provid¬ 
ing you could hold by attraction, not by force, one 
thought for half a minute ? Do you not see this would 
be a thought with power behind it? The value of 
concentration is to make our thoughts powerful 
agents for good, rather than weak, impotent, unpur¬ 
poseful thoughts. The fewer thoughts that pass 
through the mind in a given time, the more power¬ 
ful will these thoughts be. 

There has been a great deal written about concen¬ 
tration, but very little on the method, or how to bring 
about this state of mind. Everyone should be able 
to bring about this state at will and to do so harmon¬ 
iously, without stress, strain or physical labor. 

The greatest stumbling block to those who study 
concentration is that they allow themselves to become 
physically tense, taut, extremely positive. Conse¬ 
quently, the channel through which this force flows 
is choked, and nervousness and discouragement are 
the result—the very opposite of the condition desired. 
Avoid effort. Effort indicates misunderstanding. 
Concentration becomes false and dangerous when 
effort is employed. True concentration is the absence 
of effort and succeeds where effort fails. 

The word concentration itself suggests drawing 
together—gathering up, focusing. This often tends, 
[17] 


though it need not, to cause stress, labor, tenseness. 
So for the purpose of acquiring a state of easiness, let 
us use consecration. This suggests giving up, letting 
go, freedom, easiness. Remember, it is the thing 
which you do easily that you do well. Simplicity is 
power, and I want you to acquire this easiness of 
manner. 

Give yourself up to this idea, “To be at ease is to 
be powerful,” quietly and sweetly slowing down the 
action of your mind. No, you cannot stop your mind. 
The action of mind means life to you, so do not try 
to stop it, or to make your mind a blank, because it 
is impossible to do so and continue to exist. 

Quoting from “First Steps in Concentration,” by 
W. Frederic Keeler: 

“Things Not To Do When Attempting To Con¬ 
centrate Mentally: 

“Do not try to hold your mind. 

“Do not force your mind. 

“Do not try to hold your thoughts, or to hold a 
thought. 

“Do not resent any thought that may come. 

“Do not resist thoughts when they crowd in.” 

This points out the fact that we are not to use 
dominance while dealing with the mind if we wish 
to accomplish results. 

The great secret lies in letting the mind have its 
freedom, letting thoughts come and go, and choosing 
some one thought and giving it attention, contacting 
it with love—winning it rather than trying to force 
it to stay with you, or hating it to make it leave. 

Let us proceed according to this principle. 

[ 18 ] 


In order to concentrate, it is necessary to have 
something on which to concentrate. So that we may 
make definite progress, since our object is The Si¬ 
lence, let us take the first step, “Peace,” as the 
principle upon which to concentrate. 

The next move is to assume a natural physical 
posture (one that is natural to you). The best posi¬ 
tion for a student is a sitting position. This gives the 
requirement, ease. However, many are faced with 
the problem of being unable to relax and to be at 
ease. If you have this difficulty it is well to take this 
up right here and to solve it before going further. 
By so doing, you will make the most rapid progress. 
This method is very simple. (It is well to remember 
that simplicity is power.) 

When you sit down and find your body tense, it 
is a sign that you are mentally tense also. However, 
we are working with the physical just now. Your 
body is tense. Very well, sit up straight in your chair, 
place your feet flat upon the floor, your hands on 
your lap, palms up; then mentally choose “Peace.” 
You have called for “Peace.” You have associated 
yourself with Peace, now rest; let go. By doing so, 
you are offering a receptive attitude toward the ob¬ 
ject of your choice—Peace. Therefore, you are in a 
position to receive this condition, “Peace.” 

The next move is to examine yourself to see if you 
feel a little easier. If so, go over this again, and each 
time you will find you are becoming more at ease 
with yourself. You are making headway. Very good. 
Now get up and do something else. This change will 
rest your mind. Then turn to it again. This time you 
[19] 


will be fresher and more open, and your state will be 
a better and deeper one. However, if you are not able 
to make this headway and find your body remaining 
tense, mentally associate yourself with your extremi¬ 
ties, your hands and feet. Go a little farther. Think 
of each finger in turn, and at the same time, open 
and close that finger. In this way, you will relax it. 
Then go over your toes in the same way. Then take 
your right leg. Do the same thing to it. Then your 
left leg. Do the same with your arms. Then your 
shoulders and your back. 

Finally, you take the whole body into your con¬ 
sciousness and discover that you are relaxed and at 
ease with yourself. Furthermore, your mind will be 
relaxed and at ease, and you will have a very good 
foundation on which to build. A relaxed body indi¬ 
cates a concentrated mind. 

Now lovingly choose “Peace.” When this is done 
you are quite sure to find an inflow of ideas that 
seem to take possession of your mind and shut out 
the object of your choice—Peace. This is just what 
should happen if you are a beginner (and most of 
us are). Now let us see what has happened. Why 
should this flood of ideas come at such a time ? Why 
should it not come ? Have you not asked for mental 
power? Well, here it is—more than you can handle. 
The river has overflown its banks and all this power 
is going to waste. 

Your next step is to get control of this power. (It 
is the thing you give attention to which you bring 
to yourself.) You choose to handle this whirling 
wheel of mind so that you may be able to contact 
[ 20 ] 


peace. Do not resist this evidence of power, but 
merely be an onlooker. Let the ideas come and go. 
Presently, you will find Peace as a real state and 
condition, at hand. Now is your chance. Give this 
idea special attention; touch it with an attitude of 
love, and it will stay with you a short time without 
any extra effort on your part. Why ? Because out of 
all the ideas that are flowing through your mind, this 
is the only one to which you are giving definite 
attention. Then let it go. Give it freedom. Ideas 
want freedom just the same as human beings. 

To the degree that you have been able to relate 
with Peace in love, just to this degree have you won 
Peace to yourself, and it will be on hand to serve you. 
As this mind-wheel turns, you will find that all the 
other ideas fade away, purely from lack of attention, 
and your chosen idea (Peace) will be with you and 
will stay with you of its own free will. Why ? Because 
you have offered love to it, and even ideas respond 
to love and remain where it is. (Thoughts are living, 
vibrant things.) Winning your way is the powerful 
way. What you win, you hold. 

Do not allow yourself to remain at this task long 
at a time or you will spoil all the good work you 
have accomplished by making labor of it. The mo¬ 
ment you feel you are becoming tired know that you 
are trying to force your mind, rather than letting it 
serve you. 

Read over the “Things Not to Do.” In order to do 
good work it is necessary to remain in a relaxed state 
of mind. By doing this, you keep the channel open, 
and you have access to unlimited mind-power. 

[ 21 ] 


This is a working outline. If this method is applied 
conscientiously you will soon master concentration, 
and you will be able to study further the Higher 
Science of Silent Work.

“And so I find it well to come 
For deeper rest to this still room;

Feels less the outer world’s control. 

And from the silence multiplied 
By these still forms on every side, 

The world that time and sense has known 
Falls off, and leaves us God alone.” 

—Whittier

INTRODUCTION 


'"p HERE are many states of mind. This fact being 
A fundamental, there must be one state of mind 
which is the most effective and powerful. This is 
The Silence, known in psychology as the third level 
of mind; in higher psychology, the Master Con¬ 
sciousness. This is the abode of your higher Self, of 
the Knower, the Healer, the Seer; known also as the 
Realm of Peace, Tranquillity, Repose and Masterful¬ 
ness. There you stand, lord of all you survey. 

The cultivation of this state of mind is necessary 
in order to do silent work, healing and teaching. 
This is the plane of consciousness in which Jesus 
worked when He performed His many wonderful 
works of healing and other so-called miracles, which 
in reality were not miracles, but the result of adjust¬ 
ment to a spiritual law. 

This will work equally well for you or me, provi¬ 
ded we conform to that law which means to learn 
how to have conscious communion or contact with 
the Father. This can be attained by seeking The 
Silence as a place of worship—that place in Spirit 
where it is possible to have conscious companionship 
with the Father, who tells us that if we have faith as 
a grain of mustard seed, we can remove mountains. 


[ 24 ] 


LESSON NUMBER THREE 


HOW TO ENTER THE SILENCE 

T PRESENT this method in detail so that you will 
A have something definite with which to work. The 
Silence is founded upon three cardinal principles— 
Peace, Love and Joy. Peace should be your physical 
and mental state. Love should be your attitude to¬ 
ward the Great Healer (God), who resides in you 
and your patient. The result of this conscious contact 
with God should be Joy—definite, subtle joy. Let us 
take up these principles or steps in consciousness one 
at a time. 

What is Peace? Is it not a condition of mind, 
brought about by one being at home with oneself? 
How are we to acquire this state of peace? I know 
that this accomplishment is a rare jewel, much sought 
after by all, and few there are who find it! However, 
we can acquire this state if we will but face ourselves 
as we are, not as we would like to be, but as we are. 
Self-analysis is necessary if we wish to remove the 
undesirable and acquire the desirable. 

In analyzing oneself it is necessary to watch not 
only the desire which brings about certain definite 
conditions in the physical or manifested world, but 
it is also necessary to watch what the result of this 
physical manifestation will produce upon the mind 
as a reaction, and just what your inner state is as a 
[ 25 ] 



final result of your own first desire. You may now be 
in a state of hate, fear, or love, in some degree; by 
determining this result you can tell definitely whether 
this first attitude is a constructive or a destructive 
one. And thus you will know whether or not to 
entertain it again. 

Let me elucidate this still further. What is your 
attitude when you think of fire ? Is it fear ? If so, you 
are out of tune with fire. Fire in itself is all right, 
but when you do not handle it according to its law 
you get burned. However, this does not condemn 
fire. To some it suggests warmth, joy, life, freedom. 
Therefore, it is necessary for you to make a mental 
adjustment with fire, then you will be able to think 
of it and not be disturbed in the least. 

When you think of music no doubt you are think¬ 
ing in the same direction as life and music. Con¬ 
sequently no friction exists and you are in tune 
(harmonious relationship) with music. It is necessary 
for us to become at home with our thoughts, making 
them good companions rather than uncongenial 
ones. By this process of analysis you will progress 
to a purpose. 

The way to learn a language advantageously is to 
associate with those who speak it fluently, starting 
to use it at once. You will have to learn the funda¬ 
mentals, but you will make the greatest headway by 
using the language. So with this state of mind 
(Peace), you must associate with the condition of 
peace in mind. Your first fundamental step is choice. 
Remember it is the thing you choose to give attention 
to that you bring to yourself. We start by thinking 
[ 26 ] 


“I choose Peace.” This, of course, is a positive act of 
mind. You have asked for Peace. You have sent out 
the call. You have related with Peace. You have put 
forth your thought-hands and contacted the prin¬ 
ciple of Peace. 

The next step is the Great Divide, where so many 
dear souls find the road so difficult that they feel 
themselves pitifully lacking in ability to go on. Here 
they tarry, like a lion in a trap, crying out and de¬ 
manding Freedom and Life, lacking an attitude of 
love or receptivity. You cannot be eternally positive. 
You must alternate your states of mind. You have 
asked for Peace. Offer a receptive attitude toward 
this object of your choice (Peace). Open the door of 
your consciousness so that this guest (Peace) may 
enter. You would not invite your best friend to visit 
you and, when he arrived, have him find your home 
locked and you away on a fishing expedition. No, 
you would be at home and there would be a wonder¬ 
ful atmosphere of welcome, and your guest would 
immediately feel that atmosphere and be at ease, 
adding joy and zest to your life. So it is with Peace; 
open and receive the pearl of great price. Entertain 
it lovingly. Loving contact is all that is necessary at 
first. It may go, but it will soon return, and finally 
you will have it for an abiding guest, a permanent 
companion. 

Luke 12:32: “Fear not, little flock. It is your 
Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” 


[ 27 ] 


WHAT THE KINGDOM OF 
HEAVEN IS 


'T i HE first words Jesus uttered when he commenced 
A to teach were, “Repent, for the Kingdom of 
Heaven is at hand.” (Matt. 4:17.) Again further on 
He says, “Behold, the Kingdom of Heaven is within 
you.” (Luke 17:21.) 

This Kingdom is not a place, but a state of mind, 
a plane of consciousness, a level of mind wherein one 
is conscious of the “Good Spell” that Jesus talked so 
much about, and masterfully demonstrated the fact 
that it is possible to attain it now. “Seek ye first the 
Kingdom of Heaven.” This Kingdom was the great 
subject of His teaching, but as yet we have not been 
ready to set aside these outer things and permit our¬ 
selves to enjoy this privilege, not having acquired 
the knowledge or ability to accept this gift of the 
Most High. 

Lacking the ability to receive the Kingdom you 
cannot enjoy this wonderful gift. It is necessary to 
cultivate a receptive attitude or state, not a negative 
one wherein you let down the bars of your mind and 
let anything enter that may come along, for that 
would be a destructive state. But you have chosen 
Peace. You have directed yourself toward Peace. This 
definite, purposeful act will safeguard you against 
anything undesirable. Consecrate your thought to 
this business you have chosen to carry out. Consecrate 
yourself to this act. Let go of your common world 
[ 28 ] 


consciousness. Step into this new world—a new birth 
in your evolution, and you are to have new, brighter 
and more satisfactory experiences. 

Your progress depends a great deal on your ability 
to let go of the world thoughts and for the time being 
attach yourself whole-heartedly to this new condition 
—Peace. To the degree that you can let go and re¬ 
attach yourself to this higher state, just to that degree 
will you get the actual realization of this first step in 
seeking The Silence. This is your foundation and it 
is well to be sure of your ground before you attempt 
to proceed. Quoting Lao-tsze, the great Chinese 
philosopher, “One step taken in the right direction 
never has to be retaken.” So with the mental state, 
and then you can proceed in perfect safety. 

The next step is to acquire the loving consciousness. 
Let me ask a question. What do we mean by Love ? 
Did you ever stop and meditate upon this? This 
principle called Life or Love has indeed been dragged 
into the filth and mire of materialism, selfishness 
and degeneracy. No wonder when Love is mentioned, 
it brings with it the tainted atmosphere of the lower 
self. A lie is only the perversion of Truth. There 
must be a Truth or there could not be a lie. Truth is 
positive. A lie is negative, destructive. So there must 
be a pure, unadulterated, powerful Love. 

It is with this Higher, impersonal phase of Love 
I wish to have you become more familiar. “Love 
suffereth long and is kind. Love envieth not. Love 
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave 
itself unseemly. Love seeketh not her own. Is not 
easily provoked: Thinketh no evil: Rejoiceth not 
[ 29 ] 


in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth.” This Love 
is too sacred for analysis. 

True love is indeed a wonderful gift, a gift from 
God. It is the sign of God’s appreciation for our 
attention—our constant desire to serve Him—to live 
according to His plan; not according to our own 
selfish desires. This is God’s world and God should 
run it according to His plans, to fulfill His purpose. 
God’s way of working is by love. Quoting Paul again, 
“Love never faileth.” Therefore, God must win. This 
Love is therefore the crowning attribute of Life. 
So it behooves us to become well acquainted with 
the law of Love. 

God is Love, also the Healer, the All-Knowing 
One, the Seer, the Comforter, the Helper that the 
Nazarene told His disciples He would send them 
when He would be with them no more in the flesh. 
Love is an attribute of God, therefore, it must be 
something very desirable. This love is the life line that 
unites man in the physical world to the spiritual or 
the cause world, through the channel of soul, mind 
and body. 

When you cultivate Love as an attribute, you are 
at the same time cultivating your soul, which is the 
most definite part of your being. In fact, provided 
your purpose is pure and you are seeking in all sin¬ 
cerity, you will be developing harmony and also a 
powerful mind. Love is the tie that binds all human 
hearts together and causes them to melt into one. 
It is that condition or state of mind that places you 
en rapport (in harmony) with the object of your 
[ 30 ] 


choice. It is necessary for you to win your way—not 
fight your way through life. 

It is also a law in The Silent Empire that one must 
win an audience with the object of his choice, rather 
than force one. This, of course, must be pure, un¬ 
selfish Love, free from the taint of emotional or 
sensual desires. With such virgin Love, one can 
approach The Silence with perfect assurance and 
without any reserve whatever, abandon oneself to the 
arms of God—in the keeping of the Master. True 
love is perfect understanding, and perfect under¬ 
standing gives poise, sweetness and easiness of man¬ 
ner. So in this state of mind you find yourself 
perfectly at home with yourself and all your sur¬ 
roundings—it being a natural state of all-rightness. 

Now in this state of Love, perfect understanding 
comes—all sense of fear and loneliness, all sense of 
separateness will have vanished—and you will awa¬ 
ken to the wonderful truth that you are in tune with 
the universe, and all is well, that you are, for the time 
being, appropriating this wonderful regenerating, 
vivifying life-force, and by so doing, you will become 
conscious of an added power, an added breath of 
consciousness, and the comprehension of the prin¬ 
ciples of life. 

This is, indeed, a magical state of mind and one 
in which you will be able to do many noble and 
serviceable acts. A place where you think and build 
constructive, purposeful thoughts, and thus render a 
very much needed service to your brother man, 
namely, to relate your fellow man with this new 
consciousness in thought, and by so doing offer him 
[ 31 ] 


true Joy (spread the good news of the Kingdom 
of Heaven). 

True joy does not bring with it any form of exal¬ 
tation. Exaltation, ecstasy, or any form of excess is 
a phase of emotionalism. Emotion is the Soul in 
motion. Emotionalism is the Soul on a rampage 
(uncontrolled emotion). It is just as harmful to 
dissipate your forces while pursuing or contacting 
good as it is to do so by contacting the undesirable. 
Both are a definite waste of valuable energy—energy 
you have asked for and received. Therefore, keep 
your poise and appropriate this intelligent force we 
call Life, directing it into constructive channels. By 
all means, do not dissipate or waste it, but endeavor 
to keep your “ship of state” on a definite course, and 
your course straight for the harbor of constructive 
service. Having accomplished this, you may look 
around and appreciate this fact, that you are actually 
in the Temple of The Silence—your mental work¬ 
shop—where you find your thoughts are your tools, 
and you are ready to go to work. 

(The next lesson takes up quite thoroughly what 
you have to contact and deal with while in The 
Silence—what is found there.)

[ 33 ] 


LESSON NUMBER FOUR 


KNOWING THE SILENCE —WHAT 
IS FOUND THERE 



HE Silence, as we understand it, is a state of 


Mind; an unusual state of Mind. But just 
considering it as a state of Mind is not very definite. 
I wish to convey to you the potency of this unusual 
level of consciousness. The Silence is a super-state, 
the state wherein you realize your possibilities and 
rejoice in the fullness of life. But Mind is not merely 
consciousness as you commonly and familiarly know 
Mind. There are few people who realize what their 
Mind represents—the possibilities of their Mind. They 
limit themselves considerably because of ignorance. 

The end of slavery freed human bodies. Ignorance, 
which means slavery of the Mind, is worse than phys¬ 
ical slavery. An ignorant man today is more of a 
slave, more to be pitied than was Epictetus, as an act¬ 
ual physical slave. Ignorance means great limitations; 
knowledge brings wisdom; wisdom gives freedom; 
freedom finally brings man’s emancipation from the 
pit of darkness (ignorance). “Know thyself.” Know 
your Mind—and you will know your possibilities. 

Mind is a coordinated united activity of Spirit, 
Soul and Life vibrations. Mind is a phase of life, a 
larger and more inclusive, far-reaching thing than 


[ 34 ] 



one commonly believes. Mind is limitless. Man is 
limitless. There are no limits placed upon Man or 
Mind, except those Man has put upon himself. There 
is no limit in Spirit, and when you are functioning in 
The Silence, you are functioning on the plane where 
there are no limitations. Time and space are com¬ 
pletely eliminated from the consciousness; the field of 
activity. You will be functioning on the now plane 
which is another name for The Silence. There is no 
other time there than now ; the great new time now. 

Remember, your state of mind is more important 
than your thoughts because every thought you give 
birth to will be colored by the state of mind you are 
in when you create it, when you think it, when you 
give it its freedom in expression. If you have a good 
state, you will think good thoughts; you will think 
thoughts that will build harmoniously; thoughts that 
are destined for good, rather than for destructive 
purposes. 

Our object is to work out our purpose, and our 
purpose is to deal consciously with Life Facts, and 
this is the plane of facts, the creative plane where all 
things originate — the cause plane, the Source. 
Thoughts are products of the states of mind. States 
of mind, then, rather than things, teach. 

Many people learn from things. They study things 
in order to learn them. But if you do not have the 
right state of mind, you will not learn very rapidly. 
Therefore, watch your states of mind, and cultivate 
the ability to have the state you wish when you wish 
it. This is done in a very simple manner. Choose the 
state you wish in love; to the degree you are able to 
[ 35 ] 


put love into your choosing, just to this degree will 
you succeed and this chosen state will have in it that 
which will make it easy for you to understand the 
thing chosen—that which you wish to study—be¬ 
cause a state of mind has that in it which will teach 
regarding itself. 

People do not give sufficient attention to their states 
of mind and this is a sad mistake. Endeavor to watch 
this phase of your life and you will profit greatly. 

Now, I have said, one’s consecration and interest 
are of more importance to the production of results 
than the thing studied. These are states of mind, if 
you have the proper attitude toward The Silence. 

I say The Silence will teach you all about itself, for 
The Silence is potent. It is the environment of the 
Great Teacher (The Indwelling Master). You will 
learn that states of mind can and do teach of them¬ 
selves. You know what happens to a glass of muddy 
water when you let it stand for a little while. The 
earth in the water settles to the bottom and the water 
remains clear and pure. Just because the earth was in 
the water does not condemn the earth. The earth of 
itself is a necessity of life and is perfectly all right. 
When it is in its proper place it is very valuable, but 
when it gets mixed up in our drinking water we do 
not like it, although it is merely out of its place. 

When one gets in the muddy-water state in his 
mental or spiritual world, one has associated things 
incorrectly. Most people are in this condition and 
see no immediate relief in sight. Now you will appre¬ 
ciate and realize the value of stillness, the value of 
[ 36 ] 


Silence. This easy, natural mental state clears up 
your mental and spiritual vision and you are able to 
perceive clearly the true conception of whatever you 
contact and to remain master of yourself. 

When one stills the mind, all things desired flow 
into it. “This stillness is being in rhythm with life.” 
When one stills his being, that is, the entire self 
physically, mentally and spiritually, all things de¬ 
sired flow into one’s being. As light enters, darkness 
disappears. When one stills his life, all things desired 
flow into it. When you are living a natural, clean, 
peaceful life, going through life with the gentleness 
you expect other people to give you, all things desired 
come into your life. 

It is this eternal racing on that makes our troubles. 
It is necessary for us to get still to know what it will 
do for us; to realize what effect it will have in our 
being. Take time to live. Life is beautiful and means 
much to you, but if you race through it, you lose all 
its beauty, all its charms, but when you slow down 
your life, you will have an opportunity really to see, 
think and live, and can give attention to whatever 
you choose to associate yourself with in such a defi¬ 
nite manner that it will remain with you and serve 
you lovingly. In this way, you attract and hold har¬ 
moniously the beautiful things of life and you ex¬ 
perience nothing of the undesirable. Then will your 
environment, your life, be full and complete. Seek 
The Silence, for it contains your fondest hope—and 
the desires of all peoples. 

I have been talking of things for a while. We 
understand things better than principles. However, 

[ 37 ] 


let us go in a little further. In The Silence you find 
all things in the form of Principle, rather than in 
concrete form. Here you contact the original in its 
essence. As above, so below. Everything has a spiritual 
counterpart. It is this spiritual aspect of things that we 
contact in The Silence. We choose health. Very well. 
We wish to contact the principle of health (all is God). 

Let me give you a slight idea of this Presence. 

“God exists as a perfect, but incomprehensible 
Being, before Heaven and Earth were; is immaterial 
and immeasurable, invisible and inaudible; is myster¬ 
ious, yet manifest, without shape or form; is super¬ 
sensitive and hidden from our eyes. One needs not 
to peep through the window to see God; God is not 
there. The farther one goes away from himself the 
less he knows. God is in ourselves first of all. This 
then is God as unmanifested. But God is also mani¬ 
fested. Here: God is the external foundation of all 
things; is the universal progenitor of all things and 
only capable of being named by means of the works. 
But he who would gain a knowledge of God’s nature 
and attributes must first set himself free from all 
earthly desires. Unless he can do that, he shall not 
be able to penetrate the material veil which interposes 
between him and God. God is only revealed to those 
who are free from desires. He who regulates his action 
with God will become one with God; God is the 
source from which all things come into existence— 
and to which all things return—and God is the means 
through whom this takes place. God being eternal 
and absolutely free, has no wants or desires, is eter- 
[ 38 ] 


nally at rest, but never idle, does not grow old, is 
omnipresent, immutable and self-determined, loves 
all things but does not act as a ruler. Because God 
creates, preserves, nourishes, and protects all things, 
God is glorified for this beneficence and held in high 
honor. You will notice that all this is about Being 
and Not-Being, the profoundest subject we can dis¬ 
cuss. God is both the beyond and the present. Again 
God is the foundation of the highest mortality. God 
alone bestows and makes perfect, gives peace and is 
universal refuge, the good man’s treasure, the bad 
man’s deliverer and pardoner of guilt. Here again, is 
God in a new aspect; in the aspect of the moral 
power of the world or as the judge and savior.”— 
From The Inner Life, by C. H. A. Bjerregaard. 

Therefore, the principle of health is a manifestation 
of God expressing as health. So with everything else. 
You contact the principle of it in The Silence. You 
also contact the Father of all principles, God. God is 
the center around which you revolve and to whom 
you look for all things. You contact God first and 
your lesser principles next, and it is necessary for you 
to contact God first pointedly, before you will be able 
to have conscious contact with the lesser principle, 
the object of your choice, whatever it may be. 

After contacting this lesser principle consciously, 
you offer it to your patient. You exhibit it before the 
one to be blessed and encourage him to accept it. Do 
not affirm, deny or picture. Just offer lovingly what 
you have to your patient and the results will be grati¬ 
fying. If you find yourself affirming or visualizing, 
[ 39 ] 


know by these signs that you have lost contact with 
the spiritual level of mind. You are out of the Tem¬ 
ple of The Silence, and have dropped into a lower 
level of mind. You may have had contact with the 
higher level but you have lost it, and you are func¬ 
tioning on the force plane, the subconscious. I teach 
that you should encourage your patient to accept the 
object of his choice, rather than forcing it upon him. 

Encourage the patient to give up the undesirable 
and accept the desirable. This is Spiritual Healing 
and to the degree that you allow the Great Healer 
to do the healing, will it be done harmoniously and 
well. Your part is to bring a union of the patient 
and the object of his choice in the name of the 
Master, and let the Master do the work. The Master 
will give the patient the ability to receive, appropriate 
and express. God always does His part well. Let 
Him do it by doing your part in letting God do His. 

When you realize the fact that the Principle of all 
things is found here, you will readily see the possibil¬ 
ities. You can contact what you will and learn of it. 
This Principle will teach you, and influence you to 
the extent that you will be quite familiar with it. 
Another point: know that it is not The Silence teach¬ 
ing you, but the things you contact there. The Silence 
is the School House; the great Silent University 
which we attend and the Indwelling Master is the 
President, and the lesser principles the professors 
and tutors. But you must receive permission from 
the President before you may enter the prefessors’ 
classes for the purpose of studying. 

[ 40 ] 


Let me give you a little more light on the Indwel¬ 
ling Master, also known as the Christ, the Healer, 
the Knower, the Seer, the Comforter. 

Jesus continually spoke of GOD as His Father, 
Father God, and spoke of Himself as the Son of 
God, an offspring of the Father. This Son of God 
is the Christ and is the same in all men, only some 
have a fuller, more natural expression of it. These 
are great Souls, such as Jesus and Buddha. 

However, these great souls have physical bodies 
through which to express on this plane. This part of 
their being is called the Son of Man. Jesus often 
spoke of Himself as the Son of Man. But this Son 
of Man can, if he chooses, contact and associate in 
consciousness with the Christ, who is the Son of God 
who lives in the Son of Man, and this Christ has 
access to the Father (God) at all times. We in the 
physical body have access to Christ and the Indwel¬ 
ling Christ or Master has access to the Father (God) 
at all times.

do not limit yourself to set times; you should develop 
the ability to enter The Silence at will 


[ 42 ] 


LESSON NUMBER FIVE 


HOW TO WORK IN THE SILENCE 

HOW TO GIVE A TREATMENT 

/ T 1 HE first step in Silent Work is to realize the 
majesty of your choice. To do this, it is necessary 
for you to realize the limitlessness of Spirit, and that 
you are functioning in the spiritual level of Mind 
(Master Consciousness). Mind being limitless, both 
in scope and power, you can by conscious choice 
reach out with your thought-hands and lovingly 
caress and appropriate the object of your choice, 
whatever it may be. 

However, this appears selfish, but there is nothing 
selfish in Spirit. So the object of your choice must be 
contacted and immediately set free. But you have 
made contact and if your attitude was one of love 
and adoration, one of appreciation, you will soon 
find the object of your choice seeking you and event¬ 
ually you will have the realization of it. Do not allow 
any thought or attitude of greed, selfish grasping, or 
dominance to enter. If you find these elements in 
your thoughts, know that you have wandered out 
of the Temple. 

This jewel is indeed very elusive and responds only 
to free, loving attachment. No degree of force will 
hold it. It is as elusive as the rainbow which must 
be appreciated while it is present. 

[ 43 ] 



Do not fail to give the strictest attention to your 
attitude without allowing any form of stress or anxi¬ 
ety to enter. A quiet, subtle alertness—this is essential 
if you wish to do good work. 

Now that you have an appreciation of your new 
power, let us see what else we find in the Temple of 
The Silence. Here you become conscious of your 
Higher Self—the Indwelling Christ, the Healer. 
Also, your patient’s Higher Self, and your oppor¬ 
tunity and ability to serve. Thus, you proceed. 

After becoming aware of your surroundings and 
realizing that you are actually in the presence of the 
Great Healer (God) and while permeated with this 
consciousness of power and understanding, you re¬ 
ceive the inspiration to serve. Now you must make a 
definite choice. What are you going to choose; whom 
are you going to serve ? God, yes, of course. Also the 
patient, or yourself. For the purpose of this lesson 
let us take a patient by the name of Thomas. In this 
state of power you wish to serve Thomas and your 
first step is to offer an attitude of love to Thomas, 
so you relate with Thomas by mentally saying, “I 
love you, Thomas. By doing this you have contacted 
(in thought), and if your attitude is one of loving 
service, you will have won your way to Thomas, and 
Thomas will be ready and willing to listen to you 
and accept what you have to offer. 

One point I wish you to remember here is, that on 
this silent plane of life you are known for just what 
you are. Here you stand stripped of all artificial, 
false, deceptive or camouflaged states. You are recos- 
[ 44 ] 


nized by what you are, not what you would like to 
be, or what you think you are. Spirit does not lie, 
and no lie can be expressed in Spirit. So only the 
attitude of sincere desire to render unselfish service 
will be your passport to this temple of opportunity. 
If your attitude is tainted with selfish motives or any 
form of dominance, you will not be able to gain 
an audience with your patient, as you are confronted 
by a law of nature that never fails and that is the 
law of self-preservation. 

The law of self-preservation will not allow you to 
enter your patient’s consciousness with any other 
motive than that of helping him to carry out his 
higher plan of life. You have no more right to domi¬ 
neer a person silently than you have to do so orally 
(judge not lest ye be judged). Who knows best for 
another? Who wishes to be compelled to do some¬ 
thing he feels and knows is not best for him ? And I 
say, the patient’s higher self knows what is best for 
him, although it may not be able to carry it out. Now 
this is your opportunity to serve. You may think you 
know best for your patient, but this is only thinking, 
and very poor thinking at that. 

Did it ever occur to you that if you were to leave 
your dinner cooking while you went out to tell your 
neighbor how she should cook her dinner, that you 
would, on returning home, find your dinner spoiled 
by too much fire ? Yes, if we attend to our own affairs 
we will have plenty to do without trying to put our 
neighbor straight. (Meddling is not a Christian duty; 
meddling is of the devil.) All that God asks of us is 


[ 45 ] 


love. So let us enter into this spirit of Love, and 
lovingly offer our services to the patient. 

So, having won your way to Thomas, you wish to 
find out in just what way you can assist him to carry 
out his plan. In this attitude of service you ask Thom¬ 
as what you may do for him—“How may I serve 
you?” Having asked this question, you offer a recep¬ 
tive attitude to Thomas. Then watch your feelings. 
How do you feel ? Do you get the sense of fear ? Do 
you wish to draw back ? Do you seem to shrink ? Do 
you feel timid, excited, or in any degree disturbed? 
“Fear on this plane is not fear as we know it, but a 
masterful indifference to life in the physical.” If so, 
know by this that you have been told what the 
obstacle is that stands between Thomas and his free¬ 
dom. Most patients give a degree of fear and you 
will soon be able to measure this degree quite accur¬ 
ately. You have registered fear in some degree. 

Your next move is to turn in thought to your 
Source, the Healer in you, and realize your at-one- 
ment with life and in this consciousness approach 
Thomas and offer this state of calm, definite power 
to him. “Thomas, I offer you strength, love, free¬ 
dom.” Then wait, let him take it or not. He has the 
right to decide. Do not try to force the issue. If you 
have really won your way to him and have offered 
this help in the spirit of loving service, you have 
done your part. Now relax, let go. Start all over 
again. This will be refreshing and you will make 
better headway. Then offer love and encouragement 
to Thomas again. 


[ 46 ] 


This time you find that Thomas accepts your help. 
You get a feeling of warmth, of good, or all rightness. 
Know by this sign that you have really reached your 
patient, and that you have been able to serve him. 
Do not try to work hard at it. If you do, you will 
very likely spoil the good work already done, so be 
content with having done this much and happily 
proceed to thank God for the privilege of serving 
your brother in such a noble manner, and also thank 
Thomas for allowing you to enter into his secret 
chamber of need to serve him. 

Now that you have had this experience, hold it 
secret and reveal your findings to none. In fact, the 
sooner you can let Thomas and his condition pass 
out of your mind, the better it is for you and Thomas, 
for any rehashing of the case only tends to offset 
the good effect of your work. So make the cut-off 
clean and turn your attention to other business. 

In order that you may do good work it is necessary 
that you realize the Oneness of life. We are harmon¬ 
ious units of life and not antagonistic units, as men of 
the world would have us believe. You are in harmony 
with the universe and all therein contained just to the 
degree that you choose to be. Unfortunately, many 
believe all the world against them and that they must 
fight for their existence. This is a gross mistake. 

Life is sweet indeed to those who will adjust them¬ 
selves to it and endeavor to move with life, rather 
than against it. You are thinking against it when 
you feel that you must fight your way through life. 
So with healing, you must realize that all life is 
[ 47 ] 


ready and willing to serve you and to help you; that 
all you have to do is to open to life to receive it. This 
we call Making an Adjustment With Life, and that 
is what you are doing for your patient. 


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 

FOR 

LESSON NUMBER FIVE 

Q. Name the fundamental principles one must 
realize in order to do silent work. 

A. (1) One’s majesty of choice. (2) Mind is 
limitless. (3) Spirit is immediate and limitless. 
(4) You can contact with your thought-hands what¬ 
ever you choose. 

Q. Why is it easier to help another than it is to 
help oneself? 

A. In treating oneself one is prone to become 
over anxious, selfish and grasping. This produces 
a closed-up condition and one is unable to receive 
while in this state. 

Q. What should one’s attitude be towards The 
Silence and what is found there? 

A. Loving attention, adoration, reverence. 

Q. How can you tell when you have reached 
your patient? 

A. By the feeling you receive, you learn to read 
this. 

Q. How can one tell whether or not he has been 

in The Silence? 


[ 48 ] 


A. By ascertaining the feeling he has on quitting 
his silent work. If he has been in The Silence he 
will feel better; he will feel a definite satisfaction, 
a real uplift. 

Q. What is the one thing or Principle you as a 
metaphysician deal with? 

A. Life. 

Q. How long should one stay in The Silence? 

A. As long as one can remain inwardly alert and 
outwardly at ease, free from any form of anxiety. 

Q. Should one ever try to make another do some¬ 
thing definite while in The Silence? 

A. No; because you cannot have a dominating 
thought and be in The Silence, and the motive is far 
from the purpose of metaphysics. Your purpose is 
service. 

Q. What action is necessary by the patient in 
order for you to be able to help him? 

A. The patient must give consent on the inner 
or outer plane, and more especially on the inner. 

Q. How do you proceed to get this consent ? 

A. By contacting your patient with a sincere 
attitude of loving service. In this way you win your 
way to your patient, gaining his confidence. 

Q. Is it possible for another willfully to interfere 
with your life, on the silent plane, or to discount a 
treatment ? 

A. No; if you are an awakened soul, and realize 
that you are king of your domain, no one will be able 
to influence you for anything other than your eternal 
good. However, you may give consent and that will 
[ 49 ] 


happen and is often done unconsciously, by becoming 
afraid of a certain individual, a certain group of 
people, a thought, a condition. If this is the case you 
have surrendered to the enemy and lost for the time 
being your kingship, your freedom, and have become 
subject to the condition of which you are afraid. 

An awakened soul is fearless. This is so because 
he is one with the Father and being one with the 
Father he is under the protection of the Father (The 
Good Shepherd) and no harm can come to him; he 
stands master of life, rather than the slave of life. 
This is your birthright. Those have and enjoy this 
freedom who choose to have. Choose, accept and 
have the realization of this blessed freedom now. 

Remember destructive acceptance is fear. 

Constructive acceptance is choice, and choice is 
ever with you.

LESSON NUMBER SIX 


INDICATIONS OF THE SILENCE 
AND INDICATIONS THAT 
ARE NOT OF THE SILENCE 

GENERAL REVIEW 

/ T 1 HE purpose of this lesson is to acquaint you, in 
A a more definite way, with those states of mind 
which you are most sure to attract while endeavoring 
to enter The Silence, in order that you may differen¬ 
tiate between them, and recognize each at its true 
value. In order to do this I will draw your attention 
to the three levels of mind, known in psychology as 
the Common Consciousness, the Sub-consciousness, 
and the Master Consciousness. These three levels, as 
you know, have distinct functions. 

The common conscious level of mind is that part 
of your mind which has to do with the common 
ordinary things of life; the part of your mind that 
deals with the seen world. The subconscious is, as 
you know, that part of your mind lying directly back 
of the common level of mind, and is known as the 
second level of mind. This part of your mind is the 
only part of your being that holds disease; it is the 
habit mind, the memory mind. The untrue of the 
Conscious and the Subconscious, constitute what is 
known as Carnal or Mortal Man (mind). 

[ 51 ] 



The third level of mind is the Master Conscious¬ 
ness and it is in this level that you as a metaphysician 
work, and with which you naturally become more 
definitely acquainted. The Silence, as you have 
already discovered, belongs to this level of mind, 
but is only one place or state in it. There are other 
things for you to know. How does this level of mind 
work, and what is its office ? 

Every movement of the Master Consciousness is in 
the direction of totalization, unity, never separateness 
or division; these latter two are faculties of the sub¬ 
conscious. The Master Consciousness knows and has 
to do only with good (truth). Its convictions are 
always encouraging, uplifting, refreshing, inspiring; 
in a word, upward. Its operation may be known 
as the eternal common sense, not that so-called com¬ 
mon sense which changes with the fashion of the 
times, but that peculiar kind that it is eternally wise 
to follow, and to which so few of us wish to give 
much attention, let alone follow its guidance. 

This level of mind in operation always demon¬ 
strates: 

1. Ability to do, 

2. Effectually and constructively by 

3. Harmonious means, 

4. To recognize good (outcome). 

It will be noted that mere efficiency is not neces¬ 
sarily mastery. Dominance has no part in its 
effectiveness. 


[ 52 ] 


Elements Which Are Always Present in 
the Movement of the Master Mind: 

Easiness - Deliberation - Gentleness - Considerateness 
Moderation - Individuality (i.e. your own thinking). 

In order to distinguish between the subjective or 
subconscious mind and the Master Mind, the follow¬ 


ing lists of faculties are c 
(Subconscious Mind) 
Time 

Dominance 

Never original 

Separateness 

Reason 

Analysis 

Repetition 

Relative truth 

Personal judgment 

Unites all in judgment 

Knows good and evil 

Holds disease 

Conclusion 

Knowledge 

Its faculties are opposite 
to those of the common 
conscious mind. 

Reached through psycho¬ 
logical skill and mentation 
Operates as mentalism. 
Its science is the Newer 
Psychology. 

Responds to circum¬ 
stances. 


(Master Mind) 
Eternity 
Gentleness 
Always original 
Unitiveness 
At-one-ment 
Synthesis 
Initiative 
Absolute truth 
Impersonal love 
Unites all in goodness 
Knows only Good 
Cures disease 
Conviction 
Wisdom 

Its faculties unite with 
those of the common 
conscious mind. 
Reached through love, 
spirit and devotion. 
Operates as Life. 

Its Science is the Higher 
Psychology. 

Responds to Higher 
Law. 


[ 53 ] 


The following conditions of mental state invariably 
indicate the presence of the Master Mind: 

1. Peace. 

2. At ease with oneself. 

3. Untroubled conscience. 

4. A thrill of the new. 

5. Assurance. 

6. A degree of satisfaction. 

7. Upward, onward urge. 

8. Joy. 

Life on earth (mortal existence) is one thing; and 
Being (the True Life) is another. 

Real Being, which is, has been variously called the 
Higher Life, the True Life, also Reality, in the Higher 
Thought literature of the ages. It has always been 
distinguished from the daily, worldy, or mortal life. 
The True Life is the Spiritual Life; the so-called 
natural life (worldly) is not in reality the natural 
life; the harmonious, spiritual, is the natural life. 

In order to deal with this question it is first neces¬ 
sary to know that these two phases of life are not 
opposed to each other. The past mistake has been that 
those seeking the True Life were often inclined to 
fight the natural (worldly) life. The New Age of 
Mastery seeks to unite these two phases of existence, 
to harmonize them. It is no longer a question as to 
which life or what life to live. Live all life, for all 
life is sacred. 

We are all pilgrims. All seek the Best and the True 
Life. All will attain it. Some will walk a shorter, 
more direct and more pleasant path than others. If 
you believe it necessary to fight and sacrifice and 
[ 54 ] 


struggle—very well—your pathway toward attain¬ 
ment will be one of struggle. You are master of it all. 
It is a matter of Choice. But you will never attain 
until you become conscious of the Rose Path, until 
you believe that God is Good; and the way to God 
is sweet and easy. Then all life will be sweet and 
easy; your daily life (Spiritual Life) will be happy. 

All talk about spiritual struggles is nonsense. There 
never was a spiritual struggle. The Spiritual Life is 
a life of Joy. If your mortal or world mind is deter¬ 
mined to struggle about it, very well, but the Spirit 
in you never struggles. Whoever heard of a Master 
fighting or toiling? A Master quietly and sweetly 
conquers by consenting that Spirit overcome for him. 

It is all a matter of mental adjustment, a matter of 
giving this consent to the Indwelling Master that He 
may live your life, solve your problems and lead you. 

Life (the outer world life) is a game. Nothing 
more nor less. Play that game as you will. Play it 
strenuously, play it toilsomely and hard, or enjoy it 
sweetly. Your life is your game. The masterful life 
is always sweet, for the Master within you trusts in 
the Good, the Universe, and the Great Life, therefore 
does not try to usurp it and assume troubles. God is in 
His Heaven, which is also on earth. Let your lesser 
self be not so conceited. Let go, brother; all is well. 

Earth life has been called an illusion. It is. But an 
illusion is not an hallucination. An illusion is not all 
unreal. An illusion is a reflection of truth. It is 
always based upon truth. Mortal life is a reflection 
of the True Life. 


[ 55 ] 


That which you see in the mirror is an illusion. 
It correctly reflects your face, yet it is not your face. 
You daily use that illusion, that reflection in the 
mirror, for practical and useful purposes. It serves 
you, yet it is an illusion. It correctly portrays, for it 
is a useful illusion. Such is mortal life. It correctly 
reflects the Real Life, but this is not the Real Life. 

If there is a blemish in the mirror, that blemish 
will destroy and distort the picture shown in the 
mirror. If there is a blemish in your mortal or lesser 
mind, the True Self and the True Life will show as 
though blemished. 

You should not believe in blemishes, and you do 
not believe in them, nor do you make use of them. 

All undesirable conditions of so-called evil that 
you see are but blemishes coming out of your mortal 
mind distortions. They are merely illusory, but are 
negative faults, and are not to be read either into 
yourself, your earth life nor the True Life. You do 
not want undesirable conditions? Well, let them 
alone. Stop fearing them. Cease looking upon them. 
Busy yourself with the True Picture of Life. Medi¬ 
tate upon it. Choose it. Open your mind to it. Rid 
yourself of the false habit of accepting the undesirable 
as in any way, or at any time, necessary to you. 
Know that that undesirable experience was not good 
for you. True, you learned by it. You say: “It was 
awful, but I learned much through it.” But why 
learn in that manner? 

As long as you allow yourself to be taught by 
troubles, of course, troubles will teach you, for such 
is your choice, but when you cease believing in 
[ 56 ] 


troubles, and cease praising them, and come to believe 
that Love and Beauty can teach you best, then the 
Higher and Joyous way will teach you, but not 
before. You are master. 

You make your life day by day what you mentally 
choose, and by what you accept; in a word, by that 
in which you believe. The first business in life is to 
clean and purify one’s beliefs. Train yourself, re¬ 
educate yourself to really believe in a Living and 
Loving God. 

Daily Life (world life) is, I repeat, a game. You 
are master. Somewhere in the Great Eternity you 
chose this life. You chose your life to be just as it is. 
Therefore you can remake it exactly as you wish it 
to be. That is, you can choose what it shall be, and 
the higher forces of nature and of Spirit will make 
it into that which you choose. 

Why did you, consciously or unconsciously, some¬ 
where in Eternity and in the place of your High 
Will, make this game, this illusion that we call 
world life, and then come into it? 

You made it in order that you could feel and 
experience the fibre of your Soul, so that you could 
feel and better know the Master in you. You like the 
thrill of overcoming. That is why you play any game. 

Why do men take a perfectly smooth lawn and 
make bunkers and obstacles upon it, then after mak¬ 
ing these obstacles try to club little balls round upon 
it ? It is because they like this game of golf. In playing 
it they do not recognize the obstacles as troubles. 
They do not really fear these things. They love to 
overcome them. They like to learn to overcome 

157 ] 


because of the joy of winning that arises within. 

Out of the absolute Freedom you made this illusion, 
out of the Things of True Existence you brought this 
daily life. You made it to try your mental muscles 
because you like the feeling of overcoming. You 
made it, therefore you need not fear it. Each condi¬ 
tion that arises in it you can overcome. The fact of 
it arising before you is the pledge of your power to 
overcome it. You do not even have to overcome it. 
You can at any time lay down your club of mortal 
mind and return, in consciousness, to Spirit, while the 
Master in you will subside into peace and purity, and 
the outer life need no longer concern you. This does 
not mean to relinquish living on this earth plane. 

The Higher and True Life of happiness can just 
as easily be lived on earth as elsewhere. It is always 
at hand and is simply to be accepted. Do not allow 
the game of daily life to overcome you. Do not ever 
fear it. The Master is always near (within) and will 
show you the Truth at any time. Mentally attach 
yourself to Him. Detach yourself from the illusory 
game. Seen things are incidental. Above all learn 
to live the True Life by giving it First place in your 
aims and in your thoughts. 

Live your daily life as you will, but subject to the 
True Life. Keep your mind still. Be concerned 
only in the life of the Living God. There is but one 
power and that is Good. 

Be still (peaceful within) and your mind mirror 
will be clear, and will clearly reflect the Real. 

Make the True Life your silent aim and your Good 
will take care of you. 


[ 58 ] 


Unite these two phases of life in consciousness. Let 
this be your conscious mental practice. This is the 
true function of consciousness. 

Detach yourself, mentally, from seen things as 
things of cause. 

Attach yourself to the Real Life of Peace as First 
Cause, the True Mental Dwelling Place. Then you 
will masterfully say to the world, “None of these 
things move me.” Then the Indwelling Master will 
always move you to Good. 

Solve your problems silently. Take them silently 
to the Knower. The self cannot do it; allow the 
Higher Self its opportunity. You must consent in 
consciousness. You are Master. 

If you can do nothing else, be Still. Stillness is 
the motion of Spirit because it is at once so vast 
and so secure. Return to Spirit. You cannot be lost, 
nor can anything be lost to you there.

under their respective headings. Give four of each. 
(Most important.) 


A. 


Subconscious Mind: 


The Master Mind: 
Unitiveness 
Absolute truth 
Impersonal Love 
Cures disease 


Separateness 
Relative truth 


Personal Judgment 


Holds disease 


[ 60 ] 


Q. Name several states or conditions of mind 
that indicate the presence of the Master Conscious¬ 
ness. 

A. 1. Peace 

2. At ease with oneself. 

3. Untroubled conscience. 

4. A thrill of the New. 

5. Upward, onward urge. 

6. Assurance. 

7. A degree of satisfaction. 

8. Joy. 

Q. Are the Higher and lower natures of man 
(in the true sense of the term) actually opposed to 
each other? 

A. No, it only appears so. In reality, they are 
one; but mortal man in his sleeping state is not 
conscious of the reality of things; only the awakened 
man can perceive such a state of at-one-ment. 

Q. Is it necessary to struggle ? 

A. No; struggle belongs only to those who be¬ 
lieve in it; the awakened man knows Love, and 
therefore wins his way, rather than fights it. 

Q. To whom does the life abundant belong? 

A. To all those who will accept it. 

These questions are asked because if a mind is 
capable of formulating a question, it must also con¬ 
tain the answer. 

You have access to this level of mind, and should 
develop this faculty of going there for your answers. 

A writer says of thinking: “There is a well of 
thought which has no bottom; the more you draw 
[ 61 ] 


from it, the more clear and fruitful it will be. If you 
neglect to think yourself and use other people’s 
thoughts, giving only them, you will never know of 
what you are capable. At first your ideas may come 
out in lumps, homely and shapeless, but no matter; 
time and perseverance will arrange and polish them. 
Learn to think and you will learn to write; the more 
you think the better you will express your ideas.” 

PEACE TO ALL BEINGS.
